The Resume

    (2013- )
    Born in Seoul, South Korea
    Members:
    Jin (birth name was Kim Seok-jin)
    Suga (birth name was Min Yoon-gi)
    J-Hope (birth name was Jung Ho-seok)
    RM (birth name was Kim Nam-joon)
    Jimin (birth name was Park Ji-min)

    Jungkook (birth name was Jeon Jung-kook)
    Recorded the albums ‘Dark and Wild’ (2014), ‘Wings’ (2016) and ‘Love Yourself: Tear’ (2018)

Why they might be annoying:

    Their name stands for Bangtan Sonyeondan (meaning ‘Bulletproof Boy Scouts’), but a new explanation was created for English-speaking markets: Beyond the Scene.
    The group members all adopted single name monikers (or even shorter ones in the cases of V and RM).
    Their fans are known as the BTS Army.
    A planned appearance on Japanese TV was cancelled after photos surfaced of Jimin wearing a t-shirt that celebrated the atomic bombing of Hiroshima (2018).
    Shortly after that controversy, pictures resurfaced from an old photo shoot showing RM wearing a hat with the SS Death’s Head logo.

Why they might not be annoying:

    They were the first K-pop act to appear at the American Music Awards and Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve (2017).
    They were the first Korean performers to hit #1 on Billboard’s album chart (2018).
    They became the youngest recipients of South Korea’s Order of Cultural Merit (2018).
    They are estimated to bring over $3.5 billion to the South Korean economy annually.
    They ranked #1 on Forbes’ Korean Power Celebrity list (2018).
